Depends, do you like good looking woman, fast cars and a guaranteed motorbike licence?

On ops would you like a GPMG with unlimited rounds and call in a daily fast air and close air support? Cbt Engr sigs usually get into an argument with their SQMS about how they don't want to be issued a back plate osprey because "they will never show there back to the enemy".

I wouldnt trust you with a mobile phone, a pop gun and the role of ordering pizza for the Sqn Bar.
Tell the truth, the real reason you didnt have back plates for your osprey was that your carcass is that feckin rotund, the drama of MGB strapping it to you every morning was deemed too much of a ball ache and besides which if you were going to get popped from behind by a member of your troop, they wanted it to be a quick and painless as possible.

Ah well Nightrained, thats you out on both counts then!
Have a bash at one of the other trades, they are all open to you. There are plenty of threads here about them. Bear in mind that at some stage you will have to use radios and can do a radio users course etc.
C3S is being pushed very hard because of the shortages in their ranks.

I think i will look into other trades when i get a chance to go back to the AFCO, plus once the BARB test is out of the way i can look at the trades i've scored for i'll be able to make a proper choice. I'm TA Sigs at the moment and kinda wanted to stay in Comms but poss not Sigs

He knows what a Vagina looks like, he see's on in the mirror every morning when he has a shave. Bearing in mind he is a design trade ponce who is only let out a drawing office to get the biscuits for the brew fund.

Yep, I may be a very shoite pointy head now, but I was never that much of a mutant to work in a drawing office, either before or after the course
Feck, I'd rather have been the bedding storeman on a monday morning.

Haribo will no doubt have viewed NT's many "contributions" to ARRSE, where we have had the pleasure of watching him go from an unfit sprog, into the unfit, trained steely-eyed wielder of a 352, a BATCO wallet and a sense of purpose, that he is today.

Haribo, you might get a more "joined-up" response, by giving CTW at Gib Bks a call yourself. As much, as NT will (now we know your female) encourage you towards C3S, a telephone call, might give you a longer term view, and also give you the heads-up on how your previous Sigs experience would benefit you. Who knows, one day, you could find yourself working alongside NT.
